[Leetcode] Reverse Words in a String 反转单词顺序

Reverse Words in a String

Given an input string, reverse the string word by word.

For example, Given s = "the sky is blue", return "blue is sky the".

Update (2015-02-12): For C programmers: Try to solve it in-place in O(1) space

思路

将单词根据空格split开来存入一个字符串数组，然后将该数组反转即可。

注意

• 先用trim()将前后无用的空格去掉

• 用正则表达式" +"来匹配一个或多个空格

代码

public class Solution {
    public String reverseWords(String s) {
        String[] words = s.trim().split(" +");
        int len = words.length;
        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
        for(int i = len -1; i>=0;i--){
            result.append(words[i]);
            if(i!=0) result.append(" ");
        }
        return result.toString();
    }
}

时间 O(N) 空间 O(N) 如果输入时char数组则是O(1)

思路

先将字符串转换成char的数组，然后将整个数组反转。然后我们再对每一个单词单独的反转一次，方法是用两个指针记录当前单词的起始位置和终止位置，遇到空格就进入下一个单词。

代码

public class Solution {
    public String reverseWords(String s) {
        s = s.trim();
        char[] str = s.toCharArray();
        // 先反转整个数组
        reverse(str, 0, str.length - 1);
        int start = 0, end = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++){
            if(str[i]!=' '){
                end++;
            } else {
                // 反转每个单词
                reverse(str, start, end - 1);
                end++;
                start = end;
            }
        }
        return String.valueOf(str);
    }
    
    public void reverse(char[] str, int start, int end){
        while(start < end){
            char tmp = str[start];
            str[start] = str[end];
            str[end] = tmp;
            start++;
            end--;
        }
    }
}

Reverse Words in a String II

Given an input string, reverse the string word by word. A word is defined as a sequence of non-space characters.

The input string does not contain leading or trailing spaces and the words are always separated by a single space.

For example, Given s = "the sky is blue", return "blue is sky the".
Could you do it in-place without allocating extra space?

思路

这题就是Java版的Inplace做法了，先反转整个数组，再对每个词反转。

代码

public class Solution {
    public void reverseWords(char[] s) {
        reverse(s, 0, s.length - 1);
        int start = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < s.length; i++){
            if(s[i] == ' '){
                reverse(s, start, i - 1);
                start = i + 1;
            }
        }
        reverse(s, start, s.length - 1);
    }
    
    public void reverse(char[] s, int start, int end){
        while(start < end){
            char tmp = s[start];
            s[start] = s[end];
            s[end] = tmp;
            start++;
            end--;
        }
    }
}
